Everything we do is accountable, designed to deliver financially tangible progress and enhanced employee well-being

“A vibrant arts and culture sector supports the creation and retention of the educated and innovative workforce that AES needs to power our industry in the future. Through our partnerships with arts organisations like Belfast Exposed and Cinemagic, young people in our local communities learn about electricity through photography, film making and acting. We value having a thriving creative industry that can share their skills and ideas with us through long-term partnerships.”
